“IF BY CHANCE” is Donnie F. Wilson’s world premiere directly inspired by our society’s preoccupation with Barack Obama’s ethnicity. President Obama, being a bi-racial man, has charged many to question how we think of and label race. Wilson wanted to present a work that would reveal a subtle truth about the cognitive frames that shape our thinking about the subject. Motivated by a local teenage actor who had bouts of legal troubles before discovering acting, Wilson wrote this piece specifically for the young man. The combination of his inspiration and motivation resulted in “IF BY CHANCE”, a moving drama about a biracial college student who strives to be judged by the content of his character and not the color of his skin.
“IF BY CHANCE” is directed by Bill Fountain. Cast: Cameron Law, Perri Camper, Lisa Whitfield, Monique Vazquez, Janis Roscoe, Alan Jackson, Arnulfo Diaz & Malcolm Underwood. Produced by The MET Theatre, Donnie F. Wilson & Ashley Head.
